Kess v2 and KTag Pinout of DB15 Cable 14P600KT02

 In this article, we will talk about the pinout of the DB15 cable for working in BOOT, which is included in the K-Tag ECU Master and KESS V2 Master flashers. In some cases, the question arises of the lack of communication with the ECU when connected to BOOT and the reason for this is the incorrect pinout of the DB15 cable. You can buy a high-quality KESS V2 with the necessary refinement and a proven pinout of the DB15 cable for working in BOOT in the www.obdii365.com online store. The online store also offers to buy a high-quality K-Tag with the necessary modifications for 100% ECU support via K-line and CAN.
Please note that externally the DB15 cable from K-Tag ECU Master fully corresponds to the DB15 cable from KESS V2 Master, however, they are not interchangeable, as they have different pinouts. That is, the DB15 cable from KESS V2 Master will not fit the K-Tag ECU Master and vice versa.
To check your BOOT cable, you need to disassemble it and compare the pinout with the following image. Analyzing this image, you can see that the differences relate to the brown and green pins, as well as yellow and purple.
